Fr. Dan's Weekly notes

THANK YOU!! What a beautiful welcome reception last Sunday! Thank you to all who helped plan it, all who helped carry it out, and to all who attended! I am extremely grateful for the wonderful welcome and outpouring of love I have received from each of you not only at the reception, but each day since I arrived. I look forward to journeying with you as we deepen our faith and relationship with Jesus Christ and our love for Almighty God and our Holy Mother, the Church. Thank you, also, for your warm welcome to my parents! They enjoyed meeting you and were touched by your love and graciousness. I am sure that you will see them again! Congratulations to our 5 second graders who participated in the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the first time this past Thursday at our Parish Penance Service! What a beautiful think it is be immersed in the Mercy and Love of Jesus and know the forgiveness of Almighty God! I encourage you, if you have not yet, to avail yourself of this wonderful Sacrament before Easter. Be on the lookout for extended hours for confession on Good Friday. Thank you again for your warm welcome! Peace in Christ, Fr. Dan Firmin
